Eric Jorgeson “I have a Hobie Oasis tandem peddle drive. I don’t have a way to transport it (except locally) and not strong enough to handle it alone. If someone stronger with transport wants to fish I would be interested. I live near Westheimer/Dairy Ashford. Phone 28I-6I5-9i6I1.”
Once again, let me stress….
